Chloe Alexandra Thompson is a Cree, Canadian, interdisciplinary artist and sound designer. Her work engages tactics of material minimalism to create site-specific installations that sculpt droning, maximalist experiences out of space and sound, often utilizing multi-channel audio and high-density loudspeaker arrays. She has performed/completed residencies at Pioneer Works (NY); HERVISIONS x Arebyte AOS (UK), MUTEK Montreal (Canada), Lincoln Center (NY), and NYU Abu Dhabi (UAE) among others.

“They Can Never Burn the Stars” is her debut full length. Inspired by a story shared from the Sicaugu Oyate people to Thompson’s family, this work takes at its heart that survivance is sanctified and ensured through the ever-changing relationship of knowledge and tradition to that which is more than human. Soundings included in the album were recorded within Thompson’s spatial array installation during a music residency at Pioneer Works in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
